Cool place with the market below
Interesting artifacts, but I would liked to have seen more of the documentation and history from the Confederate perspective. We had visited Ft. Sumpter earlier and wanted the other side of the story. Still, it was interesting to see the Confederate artifacts.
Very neat seeing history!
So much history from the Charleston area and beyond.
Highly recommended it's owned by the daughters of the Confederacy and it literally has flags from the Civil War and full uniforms
Less racist than expected, not much there but some cool artifacts if you're into that sort of thing. Worth the $5
youve got to look at places like this as a way to remember what we are capable of as a species, and to understand ourselves better in order to evolve. We arent getting off this planet unless we work together
This museum didn't have any artifacts that were amazing and it is small, but the $5 admission fee made up for it. Be warned that there are very few firearms, and there is not a lot of explanation on artifacts. Also, the museum is not racist in anyway.
What an interesting and informative collection of authentic Civil War artifacts! So happy that there is a place like this that respects the value of our history! Instead of tearing down to try to erase the past, this museum is a must see for anyone who wants to learn from our past! Thank you so much for the time and effort put into this important time of American history!
Very interesting memorabilia. I Saw a review here calling the museum racist? How ignorant are people these days? Well worth the $5 adult admission. One of a kind memorabilia thats a must see...
A step back in time to a respectful and well presented remembrance.
Only one room of artifacts but all genuine and very interesting. Wish they allowed you to take pictures.
This place is 5 dollars admission to walk around a small room. I understand they have to keep the museum up, but the price to walk around for 10 mins adds up when you have a large group. NOT for kids, there are lots of breakables and its super small so please dont bring your small children in here, you don't want them to break something or disturb others. They had a pretty good selection of civil war memorabilia (alot of stuff I havnt seen any where else) but like I said its very very small and not free. Military ID gets you in free, and its on top of the oustide market. (We had trouble finding it)
A lot of history resides in this remarkable location!
Interesting things to see!
Well done but really small and pricey for what's there.
What a beautiful place great to seehow things were in the south
Small, but very well done. Worth the time.
The quality of historic artifacts is second to none. It was an emotional experience. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. This is a museum to visit again and again.
Don't know.. only takes cash in 2019.
Not much to do
Interesting to see the artifacts from civil war, before, during and after. No pictures allowed. Very small area. Be sure to take your time and read the placards associated with various pieces.
Very cool items, no photos allowed
Needs more spacw
Ok if you thank the conference is racist you need a history lesson
Nice
Small but fine and the employee are so friendly and helpful!!
Another great history lesson!
Racist and hateful place. Avoid it at any costs.
Very interesting, hoped to get more history, but the number of artifacts is amazing
It's just a big participation trophy
Very interesting memorabilia. I wish they'd allow photos, though.
If you are a fan of American history this place is a must. A great combination of military history and daily life in the CSA. There are exhibits here that you won't see anywhere else in the world. If you are a researcher they have a large collection of primary resources.
Smaller than expected but great to see history isn't being deleted!
This place is horrible. Daughters of the Confederacy? Get over yourselves. Realize your family was on the wrong side of history and move on. There is absolutely nothing in this place to celebrate...
Of all the shameful and racist memorials I’ve been to, they have the worst understanding of history. Kudos!
Good collection of historical items
Fasincating! Enjoyed talking with the staff! My favorite museum in Charleston.
Lots of History
Amazing historical artifacts and books! Well worth the visit. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable
A lot of interesting artifacts and documents from the southern perspective of the Cival war. Well worth the trip. Free to veterans and service members.
Fun and interesting. Definitely one of the cheapest entertainments we've found here
A small place but packed with a lot of very interesting Confederate artifacts. Volumes of documentation as well, including a register of all Confederate soldiers. A good visit if you are an American history buff.
A great exhibition for the Civil War buff!
Lot of history and staff shared tons of information
Never got in because the hours are so limited, I think 10-3:30.
Great experience
Just ok
We appreciate the Daughters of the confederacy preserving the noble heritage of confederate veterans.
So much history to learn! It was amazing
A must see
Do yourself a favour and go here. A bargain at $5:00 for a traditional museum chock full of artefacts.
Educational great history
If you love the Antebellum Era, then this is the place to go! They have more genuine artifacts per square foot than any comparable museum you will ever go to. I spend hours in here every time I'm in Charleston and always learn/see something new. Lovers of Dixie will feel right at home!
Very nice little museum. Would be nice if they had a bit of a bookstore.
A quiet secret, staffed by volunteers, go inside. It's worth the $5 for air Conditioning & u could be amused
Very interesting museum. Lots of displays in a limited space.
Neat place for $5.
A Lot of very interesting historical items to see.
Well worth the visit
History of the civil war is interesting
Wow , never knew it was there ,had a awesome time, very informational on our history.!!!;)
Very cool museum.
This is an ok museum. Very small and ran by descendents of the Confederate soldiers. I kept an open mind. It is pro confeseracy in there so if that is your cup of tea. Not very much in there. Pricey for the amount of things in there. Dusty and no curators.
Enjoyed this museum very much. So much History to learn about. Was only 5.00 to go in.
You have to be interested in this to truly enjoy. It has some interesting displays. Well worth the time to visit.
Educational and enjoyable.
A small, but impressive exhibit!
Great museum. Very interesting
Let me say, I am a history nerd and I have an interest in military history. The $5 admission price was worth the entrance. This museum is owned and operated by the United Daughters of the Confederacy whose mission is to make sure that the sacrifices of Civil War soldiers and their families are remembered. The ladies working were very helpful and answered a few questions I had. The place is very artifact heavy and light on interpretation. That being said, you'll find the sword of Bernard E. Bee, a button from the coat of a Confederate naval officer off the CSS Alabama, and several original Confederate officer coats, among many other objects. If you like history, spend an hour here. You won't regret it.
You can get very close to the exibits. A lot of original pieces. Not just war related, but also the families and children of the time. Plenty of personal stories. No photography allowed.
Awesome artifacts, knowledgeable staff
Another must see to have a full appreciation of our nation's history...especially if you have a direct family connection to The Cause.
Loved going back in time. All the artifacts they had. Everyone should experience this time in history.
Great historical items
Awesome place full of history, and great staff
Never knew it was at top of stairs on Meeting Street. Went there with out of town relatives. Full of old confederate relics, war items, memorabilia. Seemed old and tired. Photos not allowed.
Been coming to Charleston for over 40 yrs and never visited until this year. Very informative and a great display of our civil war history.
It's no place I would visit.
First of all, there is nothing racist about this museum at all. It is an invaluable resource for those researching their ancestor's role in the Civil War. Many soldiers have write-ups about them if you can find their name and company in their stacks of books. It's packed full of donated photos, weapons, clothing, and other artifacts related to the Civil War and the South during that time period. It was very interesting. One reviewer mentioned the ladies who work there as being stuck up... well, they're older women and from Charleston.. some may refer to them as "society" types, so that is just how generational Charlestonians are and people should not be offended by their aloofness. A very educational day would be to go to the Confederate Museum and the Old Slave Mart museum. I have noticed though, even as a novice, that some historical 'facts' as reported by signage and displays at the state historic sites are not totally accurate or are spun but I suppose that is probably true of any site managed by the government.
educational
The space is quite small and admission is more than what it should be. Good for people who really just want to be in a historical spot and are passionate about civil war artifacts.
It has a lot of history and artifacts. Very disorganized and cluttered. I could not piece together a concept. Items are labeled and I could distinguish the artifacts. Probably will not go back but I can say I have been there.
Was able to confirm my husband and I both had great-great-great grandfather's who fought for the Confederacy.
Must see. Lots of really good info and artifacts you cant see anywhere else
What's "sad" are liberals who want to rewrite history to fit their agenda. Pretending history was not what it was only causes one to be ignorant of the truth. Liberals don't like truth so they try to change it, which then makes it untrue. Great museum!
It's good to see history being perserved, and not try to cover it up! This and every war ,I salute to all that have fought, and those who have died for our freedom! Along with those who serve and have served in our millitaries!
cheap entrance fee. Just to have a peek is fine, but the collection is not organized and therefor doesn't really inform you like you would expect from a museum
Small but packed with so many things. Could spend all day looking and reading. Just wish you could take pictures but I understand why you can't.
Informative piece of American history. Little warm inside but fee is nominal and the folks working there were nice and friendly about answering any questions. Parking is premium in this area so a garage or lot park and walking to the museum is probably best.
Easy to see all exhibits in an hour or two.
Very interesting... Has a beautiful Market underneath
Interesting but the staff weren't very knowledgeable
Excellent! Enjoyed our time and visit. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a great informative interesting way to learn a few things about the civil war and south in general. A+ 100% reccomended.
It's a small museum filled with lots of little treasures. The museum could use some help updating its exhibits but being able to see the actual articles is pretty cool.
This is a great tour of history. Knowing your history is the best way to keep from repeating our ancestors mistakes. Lots of cool relics are kept here and preserved for generations to see and ponder a time long since past. Its a small museum, but packed with all kinds of historical relics. It's a short visit, but worthwhile to the history buff.
Great historical place in Charleston SC
Small but a lot of artifacts ! People were nice and helpful. Taking photos is not permitted. $5. Free for military with ID.
Loved this place Tons of great stuff Lots of pictures and information
Lots of priceless artifacts that have lost their historical significance in today's world unfortunately. Well worth a visit for those who understand there are 2 sides to the story of this war.
Smaller than I was expecting but very nice items. It's a shame they won't allow pictures.
Wonderful history of the Confederate Army. Many artifacts to see and read about.
Great market for local crafts and family atmosphere. Free to enter and has alot of restaurants close by.
Pricey for a group of 5. They had a lot of historical items. If you are a history buff, go!
Very interesting. Should be open more days each week.
Well worth the visit. A lot of history.
Amazing that this place was established by the Daughters of the Confederacy in 1899. Very unique collection.
This museum is less an organized display and more a random collection of Confederate artifacts. It is a bit cluttered and overwhelming, but the items are good. The Lost Cause is not hammered home, but do not ask the staff why the war started: expect to hear nothing about slavery. Like most staff's at Confederate museums, the workers here are a bit odd, and probably defensive given the country's turn away from the Lost Cause view of the war.
We were unaware of this. When we went on we spent 1 1/2 hours that flew by. Great history here. Loved it.
The only thing missing was the Confederate Flag flying out front.
It was great seeing all of the civil war artifacts. But my only complaint was we wasn't allowed to take any pictures. So you better have a good memory if want to remember this encounter for years to come.
Learned alot of things you can't learn in a classroom or in a book or on a screen
Neat place
Cheap and a plethora of Confederate items. If you enjoy history, definitely stop in!
Part of history, a must see, perspectives on our country that should not be ignored. Very interesting.
Great history there History people you can't erase it.
Learned a lot about the Civil War.
In a world that wants to hide from a history that WILL ALWAYS be there, this place is a diamond. Just remarkable artifacts!
A real learning experience
Compact display of artifacts from the war between the states
Vary historic
Loved it!!! Absolute must see if in charlston area!!!!
Very well kept history
A wonderful collection of Confederate history and artifacts. A must see, just know it is a cash only museum so be prepared. Superb!
Some really nice artifacts
Worth a visit if you are on Market Street in Charleston. They have some really cool artifacts from The Civil War. There are some amazing and detailed maps to study. I particularly enjoyed the displays of original letters and writings from the time period.
awesome historic site
Really interesting.
Great collection.
Truthful information. I teresting displays of artifacts.
Lots of history here
No photography allowed.
Great Building at the end of the City Market
Wonderful.
Well worth the money with real artifacts
Some very nice artifacts and excellent paper documents
This daughters of the Confederate museum is eh. It said it was free, but it's $5 a head. The museum hardly had anything in it, and you can see more for free online.
Really interesting pieces, including money used during the war... but very small space. Only $5 so worth checking out if you're interested in the war. Also, you can look through their record books to see if a family member was on the confederacy but need name and better if you know which state they were stationed under.
If you are interested in actual Confederate history then this museum has some excellent reference and document material. It's not a large facility, but it is packed with artifacts. We spent hours there.
alot of stuff in a small area
5.00 and well worth it. Lots of great artifacts. Could be laid out better but it is a small 1 room museum.
Great historical museum
If you like civil war history or American military history this is your stop. $5 admission free for veterans. Friendly reception. The war relics are fascinating. Confederate war bonds were really neat to see especially with the bearer bond coupons still attached.
Interesting!
Sad part of US history.
This a small museum cool stuff lots of great history. Nice ladies run the front table. Let them know your a vet and it's free admission!!
I rate it 5 stars since someone who has never been there wants to call it racist. It's a HISTORY museum, this is HISTORY.
